Read the full NTSB narrative

DURING FINAL APCH TO RWY 30, A GO-AROUND WAS EXECUTED DUE TO A SHIFT IN WIND DIRECTION, ACCORDING TO THE PLT. HE SUBSEQUENTLY ENTERED THE PATTERN FOR RWY 12, MADE A FULL STOP LNDG WITH NO DIFFICULTIES, AND TOOK OFF AGAIN FOR A PLANNED TOUCH AND GO ON THE NEXT LANDING. DURING THE FLARE THE LEFT WING LIFTED IN RESPONSE TO A WIND GUST AND SHIFT, THE PLT LATER STATED. CORRECTIVE CONTROL INPUTS WERE APPLIED WHICH RESULTED IN A LEFT BANK AND CORRESPONDING DRIFT AS THE ACFT LANDED. FULL POWER WAS APPLIED TO INITIATE THE TOUCH AND GO BUT AFTER OBSERVING LITTLE AIRSPEED INCREASE AND BEING UNABLE TO RAISE THE TAIL, THE PLT ABORTED THE TAKEOFF. THE ACFT CONTINUED ITS LEFT DRIFT AND THE LEFT MAIN LNG GEAR COLLAPSED AS THE AIRPLANE LEFT THE RUNWAY.
